So first off, 107.7 used to have a Saturday Night EDM show back in the early aughts called "Ultrasound" from 9pm to midnight. So this isn't their first time trying it out.
Secondly, no mention KNHC when you talk about EDM in Seattle? One of only five terrestrial, full time members of the Billboard Dance/Mix Show panel? Not to mention the only one that's publically funded?
Finally, I'm looking over the setlist, and I'm not really seeing anything all that innovative. You'll see a whole lot of those tracks already playing at places like KNHC or the more popular EDM podcasts. I wish the guy luck, but treating this as the only game in town when it comes to the radio is a bit much.
@4 Fair enough, it just seems like KNHC never gets any attention for what they do. They're certainly not perfect but for a station run by high school students they put out a product on par with a lot of the professionals out there.
I miss the rap-rock, nu-metal KNDD of the early 2000s. At with Creed, KORN and Papa Roach I knew what to expect.
Their current programming of unclassifiable (to me at least) indie-electronic-pop makes me feel old, although it is funny how it and KEXP's daytime programming seem to be slowly converging.
For how view of how cringeworthy EDM is, check the Electric Daisy Carnival movie/infomercial on Netflix.

This is newsworthy because it's a departure from KNDD's usual fare. I wish the track selection were edgier, but maybe it'll shift that way over time.
Thanks for pointing out the existence of Ultrasound.
